species of forest felling areas or woodland boundaries Explanation: looks like woodland that has been recently felled or interface between forest and open land -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2007-04-13 08:58:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- as I understand it, the text is talking about the regrowth AFTER clearing and cable laying works (rejeunissement, stades pionniers, effet lisière, etc.) and compares it to the "espèces de coupes forestières ou lisières." |

forest edge plants/species or post cutting species Explanation: Forest edge plants/species gets quite a few ghits for the context. More tricky is the 'coupes' bit my suggestion only gets about 3 hits. My reasoning is that if forestry clearance is called 'cutting' then this kind of scrubby plant regeneration is "post cutting" - but it probably needs a bit more research! |

observation Explanation: My Canadian environmental dictionary has an entry: coupe de lisière (Canadian term). Syn. de coupe par bandes. coupe par bandes - strip cutting - = coupe de lisière (CAN) - strip felling Coupe exécutée dans un peuplement sur des bandes de dimensions variées et servant à favoriser la régénération. No entry for "coupe forestière" though. My question: might it be intended to read "espèces de coupes forestières ou (de coupes de) lisières". Especially if your text is Canadian ... In which case "coupe forestière" might be "open felling" or something similar that indicates large "two-dimensional" expanses of felling. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-04-13 10:09:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Turns out "clear cut" might be better than "open felling". See below.

Might "strip species" work? There are certainly "filter strip species" for drainage systems, "wind strip species", and "buffer strip species" along rivers, etc. And then you get "fire-break species"; however this seems to refer to a type of tree that is fire-resistant rather than the type of vegetation that grows in fire breaks. Or something like "strip-cut species"? Horizontal heterogeneity was higher in the STRIP CUT FOREST and lower in the single-tree selection cut forest. Of the 20 bird species analyzed, ... cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=16713618 Additional plot inventory for STRIP CUT areas 2 & 4, and shelterwood cut ... www.fs.fed.us/ne/global/ltedb/catalogs/cat41.html Densities of microarthropod suborders were lower in the STRIP-CUT CORRIDORS of the ... are likely due to compaction of the forest floor during harvesting. ... www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nrc/cjfr/2004/00000034/00000... effecting a STRIP CUT or CLEAR CUT of a mixed conifer forest in which trees are felled, transported to a delimbing site or full-tree chipping site and ... www.freepatentsonline.com/5406898.html I rest my case with "strip-cut and clear-cut species" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-04-13 10:11:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- After all that ! ;-) Well, if the Canadian sense can be excluded (what about the influence of all those Canadian foresters who came to France after the big storm in 1999???), maybe "clear-cut and forest-edge species". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-04-13 10:13:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- CLEAR-CUT HARVEST - A harvesting and regeneration method that removes all trees within a given area. ... forestry.about.com/library/glossary/blforglc.htm Clearcut: A silvicultural method which removes all trees from a designated area at one time for the purpose of creating a new, even-aged stand. This management system is usually used to regenerate shade-intolerant tree species. Variations include patch and strip clearcutting. Strip Cut: A timber harvesting operation where all of the merchantable trees are cut within a long narrow strip. An even-aged cutting method usually used to regenerate spruce and fir http://www.vlt.org/forestry_glossary.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-04-13 10:18:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oh dear! Looks as if I've been barking up the wrong tree ;-). It doesn't look as if "coupe forestière" is a particular type of operation, just forest felling generally (although it often appears to be used synonymously with "CPRS" (coupe avec protection de la regénération et des sols). |

stand-edge and regrowth species Explanation: "espèces de lisière" has a straight English equivalent in "stand-edge species", often assimilated to the wider group of pioneer species.
